[QUOTE="wildtoast, post: 1707012, member: 468865"] This is probably a really stupid question but how do people inject into the back of their arms? I'm new to this (diagnosed T1 just shy of 2 weeks ago) and was told to pinch the skin before injecting - but clearly I can't do that AND hold the pen to inject. So do you just inject? I don't have a whole lot of fat on my arms, how can I be sure I'm not going to go into muscle? I've been using my tummy and just switched to my thigh, been mostly fine so far but I've got one bruise on my tummy and one on my thigh - maybe my injection technique needs perfecting but it just got me thinking some more about rotating the sites and made me wonder about arms.
